Well I always thought BA were a cough airline.

Im sure this thread will flush out any rolls people take trying to , number 1, put together toilet humor, and number 2, squeeze out a laugh.

I think I'd be taking no cough from BA or BAA to get the cost of a new bag back.

I got nothing.

But seriously is that the worst thing that could happen to your luggage apart from getting lost?

I've seen a bag on the carousel in TSV leak a large pool of red wine. Imagine if it was Grange. The horror. The waste!

Re: Oh ****..

And I thought my experience with the SJU Priority Aaccess line was a stinker - 25 min to clear security.Three lines - one PA - entered by the attendant lifting the rope for you.Between 2-3 TSA staff. Unf the one attendant served PA and one of the other lines alternately .. And did the many crewCut down on Admirals Club time.Four flights today - small run

Re: Oh ****..

I guess if you left your luggage unattended momentarily and they took it away and blew it up it might be slightly worse than being doused in sewerage.... But not by much... :-|

It could always be the same incident - nonews may just be in repeat mode (again).

I like the way BA apologised for the "inconvenience" (or should that be "in convenience")

Holy ****!
(sorry, best I could do)

I'm a bit of a germophobe ... I would prefer my luggage to be lost, by a long way.
Indeed, I suspect I'd decline BA's offer to clean the bag and just walk away, off to buy new everything :shock:

Sent out to be cleaned?

After raw sewage I think the only solution would be the cleansing power of flame.

And it's happened twice? So does that mean the next time is the turd time? hehe, sorry, couldn't resist.

As we go through the motions of scatological humour I wonder who the poor person is who has to do the paperwork afterwards? Imagine logging on in the morning and having that job dumped on you?

If you refused would you be in the (figurative) poo rather than the actual poo when you went to go through the motions? Frankly I'd be pissed off, would pull the chain and walk away flush with the knowledge there would have to be other jobs that meant I had my finger at the right end of the button rather than the wrong end.
